(ii)
Allegation that the Applicant's conviction and sentence was determined on
the strength of evidence which was not thoroughly evaluated;
(iii) Allegation that the Applicant's right to a fair hearing was violated as a result
of the magistrate failing to 'summon his defence witnesses.'
19.The Applicant's reply to these objections is that the Court's jurisdiction is
invoked "in so far as the applicant's complaints hinge on the adherence to the
principles
of human and peoples' rights and freedoms contained in
the
declaration."
20.The Court recalls its established jurisprudence on the issue and reaffirms that
its material jurisdiction is established if the Application brought before it raises
allegations of violation of human rights; and it suffices that the subject of the
Application relates to the rights guaranteed by the Charter or any other relevant
human rights instrument ratified by the State concerned.r
21.The Court notes that this Application invokes violation of the human rights
protected by the Charter and other human rights instruments ratified by the
Respondent State.
22.Consequently, the Court dismisses the Respondent State's first objection
herein.
